Sploid: Where awesome, wild, and breathtaking tech moments burst into view.
After years of wait, it’s finally here! The first look at J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s loaded with new cool stuff: The new version of the X-Wing fighters, new characters, new storm stormtroopers, and one really cool shot of the Millennium Falcon battling TIE fighters over a desert. Watch it! Here’s the…
Kerby Rosanes makes insanely complicated drawings look great on his humble and rather small Moleskine notebook. Here are a few examples. Kerby Rosanes is a Philippines-based illustrator. He works mainly with ordinary black pens to magically illustrate his “doodle” world. You can follow Kerby on Facebook, Twitter or check out his work on Deviant art…
You might think you ate so much turkey yesterday that you had enough for the rest of your life. But that feeling will pass (believe me) and eventually, you’ll crave again for more. When that time comes, remember this Pornburger. These are the ingredients: Rosemary sweet potato roll. Crispy duck skin. A juicy seasoned turkey…
I can’t imagine the amount of hours Dutch editor Matthijs Vlot spent making this: A fantastic supercut that transforms bits of Breaking Bad dialogue into a cohesive rap song that actually makes sense. Check out Matthijs Vlot’s website to watch more of his neat supercuts. SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow us on Facebook or…
Fried turkey is delicious but if you don’t know how to cook it properly you could end up burning your house down. Here’s proof in the form of five fiery GIFs, the most violent fried turkey disasters on the internet. This is a very dangerous operation. If you want to try it, be very careful…
These looping GIFs created by Swedish artist Erik Soderberg are pretty dangerous. I started watching them because they’re really cool, and I ended up completely paralyzed, trapped inside those geometric patterns. Erik Soderberg is a cross-media artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. He is specialized in creating and editing images for print and web. Most of…
What’s going on with this year’s water commercials? All of a sudden, they are all epic and beautifully shot. Not that I’m complaining, I’m totally fine with that. In fact, I’m sure people would pay more attention to advertising if the average commercial was as visually powerful and interesting as this one. This is how…
This wonderfully made animation plays up war as something that’s actually fun. There are guns that shoot out flowers and grenades that are actually caramel apple lollipops. But because war is actually a horrific thing, the short film takes a dark turn. If only it were always flowers and lollipops. The short is called La…
Martin Vargic made a very interesting chart that shows what the world’s largest army was throughout history, from 2500 BC until now. He split up the world into “west” and “east” to show which countries or dynasties or empires were dominating different parts of the world. It’s interesting to compare eras with each other and…
The 900-foot deep hole is actually a 900-foot tall giant chimney which actually makes this stunt even crazier because Flaviu Cernescu, the daredevil strolling over the hole, actually has to free solo climb the entire thing before he can walk. It’s like risking your life only to risk your life even more. I don’t even…
At well over 93 million views, Kim Kardashian sex tape has become the most watched porn video in history after the release of her shiny naked pictures in Paper Magazine (NSFW). That event destroyed all records in PornHub, with Kim Kardashian searches surging 629 percent and putting her at #1. Apparently, that number destroys any…
The November’s issue of National Geographic has a fascinating article titled Mindsuckers, the tale of tiny beasts that get into their victims bodies to eat them from inside and control their bodies, turning them into remote controlled zombies. And there are more horror ahead, masterfully photographed by Anand Varma. Above you can see a a…
Watching cool illustrations of starships—like these fantastic designs by Mack Sztaba—is always an exercise of painful day dreaming for me. I always get into a black hole that gets me to new worlds and vessels that I would never see—which really sucks. I wish I were there, on board this Zeus cruiser. Hopefully we will…
I love/hate documentaries like Room 237, which presents crazy fans’ conspiracy theories about Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (like the idea that the Moon landings were a hoax filmed by Kubrick himself.) That’s why I love this parody connecting the surprisingly successful musical Pitch Perfect with 9/11. By the way, if you haven’t watched Room 237…
Tornadoes terrify me. Being sucked into the sky never to return again was a recurring childhood nightmare of mine, one that felt extremely realistic. Which is why I shiver at the sight of these massive waterspouts. I imagine myself on a boat, being lifted up by some massive force, surrounded by sharks trying to bite…
Why send this tandoori lamb chop to space when it can be in my belly? I don’t know, but Nikesh Shukla and Nick Hearne thought it was a good idea to put it in a weather balloon and film its flight to the stars—or at least 25,000 kilometers up there. I can imagine ISS astronauts…
If there’s someone who mixes mad driving skills and overall madness level on equal parts, that’s legendary driver Ken Box. Here you have him driving through a crazy cart course in case you needed more proof of how insane this dude is. https://jalopnik.com/ken-box-2-is-the-ultimate-crazy-cart-gymkhana-1663663220
Los Angeles-based 3D artist Peter Straub made this cool renders of pop culture characters as if they were classical sculptures. It’s a bit weird to see them without color but I guess you can say the same thing of Michelangelo’s David. Thorin Oakenshield Luke Skywalker Rick Grimes Captain America Winter Soldier Jek Porkins Daryl with…
Game of thrones’s official twitter account just posted the first few seconds of season five finished footage. The cryptic teaser announces their new website ThreeEyedRaven.com SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
I know this sounds like one of these questions you typically ask when you are high, and, most probably, the guys at Machinima Prime were stoned when they came up with it. I’m just glad they decided to actually make this video the next morning. SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow us on Facebook or…
